Ovince Saint Preux

TRAINING: The day starts at 8 am and ends at 10 pm. Three days a week I go to boxing. Six days a week I do Strength & Conditioning. Five days a week I do game plan work, BJJ & MMA training. Add in some media responsibilities and you’ve got my typical camp.

When and why did you start training for fighting? I wanted to find something to challenge me after college football. I started training for fun, and after my first fight I fell in love with the sport.

What ranks and titles have you held? Blue belt in BJJ (Rafaello Oliveira), black band in KMAA’s homemade MMA style.

Do you have any heroes? My mother and father.

What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? A dream come true. Everyone aims at the top, so to finally make it here is HUGE! But I'm not done yet; I plan on making it to the top of the UFC - just wait and see!

Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? I received my bachelors degree in Sociology from the University of Tennessee.
